So you get deductions on how close your are to the mat or table for Front Handapring on vault?
Or skills for that matter I guess? Is there a “distance” requirement?
Our gym is doing front handspring vaults for all our level 6 gymnasts. They all had beautiful level 5 front handspring vaults that scored mid-9s all fall season, sticking landings, no arching, straight lines. But now for level 6 they are stacking mats to nearly the height of the table. So in...
During my dd’s last level 8 meet, the coach decided to add an 8 incher to the vault landing. my daughter landed on her face and the rest didn’t do great either. why would the coach do that and is this common? Thanks!
Ok…my poor kid is/has been trying to master a good vault for, well, all her gymnastics career this far! She is a level 9 (2nd year) and the coaches really want to move her to 10 but do not want her to move quite yet because her vault is..:well not good yet! She competes yurchenko (sp?) pike and...
Hi friends,
I was wondering about some vault distance questions about maximum allowable distance.
For my golds who are doing 1/2 on or FHS, how far back from the table can they run from?
For silvers vaulting over the mat stack, how far back can they be?
I feel like I didn’t catch a specific...
Hi! My daughter is doing 7/8 this season and so vault has been on my mind a lot recently. I’m curious about the vaults where the gymnast does a front handspring off the springboard and then a tsuk or another front handspring before flipping (Whitman, Zuhlke, etc). My daughter has become...

Does anyone know what a front handspring front pike vault is worth in JO? I am talking about running and hitting the table like for a level seven front handspring and then doing the pike out of it….not doing an extra front handspring onto the springboard and then doing the front pike.
(I know...
I'm just a gym parent and not a coach or a judge by any stretch of the imagination. But I do try to keep up with what is required so I have some semblance of understanding of the scoring at meets and where my kid might end up next year.
I was under the impression that for DP level 8 you...
Hi folks! My daughter just had her first L6 comp this year and is looking for ways to improve her beam and vault routines. I would love to get advice from you on where she could have less deductions. I can see a few small things, but I am not experienced enough to give her detailed feedback...
I saw a lot of old posts about minimum vault table height for Level 5 but nothing updated. My daughter is 9, short, super petite. She is now vaulting with a practice squad of girls who are 11+ and is having trouble getting over the table. She says the table is too high and her coach won’t lower...
I’ve always hated vault. Beam is grace, floor is art, bars is flowy. Vault doesent fit in! I always stutter step and recently I had a bad accident on vault where my hand slipped. The thing is i always stutter step so I can’t get enough power. I get scared that I’ll miss the board on my hurtle...
My daughter is in Level 4 this year and I had always thought vault was scored as the best of two but her coach now thinks that they have been scored as the average of the two vaults all year. I'm curious if this rule has changed or if it is discretionary/varies by state? Also, if it is the...
Are there any coaches who would be willing to have me send you videos of my dd’s FHS Front vault, and provide feedback? We are going on 2 years of working this vault in the gym, and I feel like she could use a new perspective in order to successfully land this vault on a hard surface. Thank you...
So my level 3 dd majorly struggled all season on vault. She was so amazing on every other event, 36-37+ AA all season despite going low to mid 8s most of the time on vault. Was told mid season she needed to improve to be able to move up. We even added some vault specific privates to try to help...
